I’m sorry it triggers you to hear me explaining my opinion on a musician I don’t like. Remind me to accuse you of being sad, boring and condescending the next time you slag off a film in the movie review thread.
Music Taylor Swift
- Thread starter ha_rooney
- Start date
I don't think I could name or hum one of her songs. Either I haven't heard any or they are hugely forgettable.
I just searched Shake It Off and I'm glad I hadn't heard it before. Then again the video looks familiar so maybe just forgettable. Either way utterly terrible.
Better than Post Malone where I have recently had the abomination that is Chemical unleashed on me.
I'm not a Billy Eilish fan but she at least doesn't tend to make me want to push red hot pins into my ears to make it stop.

Edit: Oh sorry wrong thread silly me
Come on man. You know that's not what you're doing. It doesn't trigger me (eurgh that word), but it's tiresome.
Shake it off is prob the worst example you could find haha. It's really obnoxiously straightforward pop.
Her earlier music had more country feel, but my favourite by her are the two lockdown albums. Has a more indie feel, great records. Give Folklore and Evermore a go.
Depends on your taste though, if it's not for you all good!
You know things are bad when her music causes a lockdown twice.
I've seen her live twice and she sounded better than any artist I've heard live. Almost identical to a recording. Both shows were with her in her younger prime so maybe it got worse perhaps.
That Tiny Desk series is ace. So many great performances on there.
That... that is not one of them
One I was really amazed with live was Tash Sultana. She's tiny and she's alone on stage but her voice is incredibly powerful and she exudes energy. She was amazing.
What a strapping young fella!
That's absolutely damning criticism. If I was a musician I'd rather hear anything about my music other than that.
Ah you'd find solace in your billions and make inaccessible soundscapes with your mates from Berlin in a studio on the Aran islands.

Do you hate Talyor more than Piers Morgan hates Megan Markle?
I’m not hopelessly in love with her and driven to attack her due to the inevitable rejection of my pathetic crush, if that’s what you mean, no.
Are you sure?
In fairness to Pogue I doubt it is possible for anyone to hate someone more than Piers Morgan hates Megan Markle.
I'd probably pick somewhere warmer than the Aran islands but that's fair enough yeah.
100%. For an ostensibly attractive woman there’s something very unsexy about Taylor. In a weird way, it’s like her music. Seems to be well put together but leaves me totally cold.
The Markle crush I can relate to…
That reminds me of something.
Does it sound like anything in particular or just all of the songs?
Absolutely, but don't tell him I agree. I intend to push that narrative tediously.
Yeah whatever Piers.
Eh?
So much that until I quoted this, you had the second most posts in this thread.
It's also a weird criticism that doesn't really make sense considering how much she's reinvented herself as an artist and done different stuff.
What exactly is her formula? Jumping from country to pop to folk? That doesn't quite sound "formulaic".

How is Pogue's definite 100% non obsession with Taylor not a meme?
Oh I can definitely work up some emotion when it comes to arguing. About basically anything. Even banal pop music.So much that until I quoted this, you had the second most posts in this thread.
You know what I meant there anyway.

Reinvented? She got older and got a new producer. That's not reinvention. That's just time and mild shifts in fashion.
It already has been.
That's me, finger on the pulse.
I'm leaving this thread, I'll end up as bad as you if people are actually serious about her reinventing herself. I apologise to you. I wasn't aware there was an actual argument to have.
It sounds familiar. I'm asking if it sounds like a particular song I can't think of or if it's so derivative it sounds like multiple songs.
Even the country and folk are bland pop, surely?
Indeed it is. It was my personal #1 Swift album until the 3AM version of Midnights came out.
Damn i didn't know we had so many Taylor fans til now. Et tu, @Carolina Red ?
I've been a Swiftie since my senior year of high school when she dropped her debut album
So you're what they might call an OG Swiftie. Respect.
